When Humans and Insects Combine ... eeek !!!!!

The world was shaken with fear and the goosebumps in 2010 when horror director Tom Six released what he had planned to be "the world's sickest film", "The Human Centipede (First Sequence). Now this is a strange and for some quite a disturbing topic to discuss, you've been warned!

This film, and I will not give anything major or sickening away, was based around Dr. Heiter, a doctor famous for the separation of conjoined twins. He becomes obsessed with the idea of creating organisms rather than separating them and his main idea is none other than creating a human centipede...

Let's just say that 3 unfortunate victims become the subjects of Heiter's torturous plan. This film was beautifully directed in a strange sense as there is always clean and bright imagery to represent the clinical side to the estranged Dr. Heiter. The ending to this film is even more disturbing than the conept itself.

Director Tom Six had made a statement on a planned sequel which he released a teaser trailer for not long after the release of the first movie. In this trailer Six stated that the sequel would make its predecessor look like "my little pony". In this trailer he also introduced his new evil mastermind that would knock Heiter off the gold podium... MARTIN!!!!!!!!!!

The sequel "The Human Centipede (Full Sequence)" was released September 2011 and caused twice as much chaos as the first film. In the case of the sequel it presented someone actually becoming obsessed with the first film and how they plan to recreate the events of the previous film only taking it to another degree. What is disturbing about this concept is the fact that there are people who are possibly sick enough to contemplate copying this idea and this movie scares the living daylights out of any sane person at the fact that this is happening within the film. Six shows his brilliant directing skills in presenting us with a completely different concept visually and literally. The stark difference between the two films is the full sequence is in black and white for the most part despite a scene which I will not mention for the sake of those of you who have just eaten something. The film is set in England and makes up for the missed blood and guts the first film did not possess.

This time around the centipede will not consist of 3 human beings but a disgusting 12! Martin, the main man is an obese, mentally-ill and somewhat of a sympathetic character despite his gruesome actions. It is the skill of acting and Six's directing which is magnificent in the fact that he has convinced many who watch the film to feel for the main character who has a sickening yet childlike mental state.

The sequel stars Laurence R. Harvey as Martin and Ashlynn Yennie reprises a role, but this time she plays herself.

The film revolves around Martin, a security guard working in an underground car park. He lives at home with his somewhat mentally abusive mother and suffered abuse as a child at the hands of his father who is not present in the movie. Martin is obsessed with "The Human Centipede: (First Sequence)" watching the movie on repeat in his office and possessing a homemade scrapbook on the film, and also owning his own pet centipede. Martin plans on creating his own 12 person centipede and by doing so lures and tricks his victims as they are passing through the car park where he works. As the film progresses, which is very slowly, and Martin's plan does too, it truly does make the first movie look like "My Little Pony".

To see the theatrical trailer for this depraved sequel, click the link below... if you dare!

The movie has been described by fans as "depraved and disgusting" and other film reviewers have stated that "it should not exist".

The film has suffered bans in several countries which seems to be attracting more attention to it with regards to online streaming.

Tom Six had announced that there will be a third and final film released to compose the trilogy and once again this film will be incredibly different in comparison to the previous 2, but all films will connect and can be combined to make a 4 and a half hour feature film. Once again Six is challenging himself to create an even sicker film.

I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this psychotic director who has spoken to medical advisors that have approved that his theatrical concept is 100% medically accurate but in imagination is 100% inaccurate!

Did You Know ?

Okay, one last Star Wars fact. The character of Yoda, who speaks backwards and with riddles of wisdom, was based on the Dalai Lama.

Midway through the filming of "The Empire Strikes Back", George Lucas halted filming as there was an annual wind-surfing competition being held in Australia that he had always gone to, Lucas refused to miss the event.

In the famous opening of the Star Wars Saga it always says "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away", but George Lucas had originally written "A long, long time ago in the not too distant future...". Thank God for the sake of Lucas that the opening was changed.

Michael Jackson was a very big fan of Harry Potter and proposed the idea of a musical spin-off to author J.K. Rowling. Rowling declined as she felt that the idea of a musical could damage the success of the franchise.

The actor who portrayed Professor Flitwick in Harry Potter also played an Ewok in "Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi". With a filmography of Harry Potter and Star Wars under his belt it is surprising that he has not been chosen for more oppurtunities in the movie world.

Michael Gambon, who played Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series from the third installment on, originally did not want the part, but his granddaughters insisted that he take the part or they would never speak to him again.

Cult classic "The Shining" was nominated for 2 Razzies in 1980, including Worst Director.

Believe it or not Arnold Schwarznegger has won a Golden Globe for acting...

Bruce Lee moved so fast in movies that one particular shot had to be slowed down in order to see it.

The most filmed British city is Liverpool.

The first animated Disney film to be nominated for an Oscar for best film was "Beauty and the Beast".

The first toilet to ever be flushed in a motion picture was in "Psycho" by Alfred Hitchcock.

In one of the most infamous film scenes in the world from the movie "Psycho", Alfred Hitchcock used chocolate syrup as blood in the bathroom scene as the movie was shot in black and white.

Slash horror phenomenon "Halloween" was originally intended to be called "The Babysitter Murders".

In "The Wizard of Oz", Judy Garland was paid $35 a week, meanwhile Toto received $125 a week.

Actor Jack Nicholson has not appeared in any interviews since 1971 as he hates being interviewed.

"The Dark Knight" is the first Batman film to not have the name Batman included in the title.

124 midgets were hired for Munchkin Land in "The Wizard of Oz", there were some unfortunate mishaps including a midget trapped in a toilet.

The first movie to break the $100 million grossing ribbon was "Jaws" which proved a point of being extremely cautious in the big blue!

In Al Pacino's "Scarface", the f bomb is dropped an amazing 207 times. Best for those who find vulgar language to avoid.

The 2009 blockbuster "Avatar" is the highest grossing film of all time raking up an astounding $2,782,275,172. It will take a lot to kick this phenomenon off the golden podium... or in this case blue.

Mr. Mel Van has been in the most movies ever, mainly voice acting, but his total is 1014 films. As for leading roles, none other than the infamous John Wayne takes the title for 142 leading roles.

The 1979 film "Apocalypse Now" takes the crown for the film with most blunders, it racks an enormous 394 spotted mistakes. Not relevant to the casual movie-goer, but for those of you who enjoy the nitty gritty details will be pulling hair out your head and blowing smoke out your ears.

Believe it or not folks the shortest film ever made lasts just 1 second. The pictures has 24 frames and is directed by Nirvan Mullick. The title speaks for itself "The 1 Second Film". It won't take up much of your time to watch.

The lowest grossing movie ever was "Jerry Maguire" starring Tom Cruise and Rene Zellwegger. Maybe Dorothy had Jerry at hello, but we certainly didn't. The film only managed to gross $5 million.

The longest running movie of all time is "Modern Times Forever" released in March 2011. The films total running time is 240 hours, 14,400 minutes. It takes 10 days to get throught the production!

Anthony Hopkins total screen time in "Silence of the Lambs" is 14 minutes. This makes him the only actor to win an Oscar for such short screen time.
